Moreover, resveratrol is a compound found in red wine that has antioxidant properties and has been investigated for possible anti-carcinogenic effects.

3. Try horse riding at Centro Ippico della Berardenga


When trying horse riding for the first time, don’t show that you are scared and panicky. Just be calm as the horse can sense it. It is recommended to be guided by the owner or someone experienced dealing with horses, for a slow and guided walkabout, before riding into the parks. Don’t sit on the saddle, otherwise you will have a sore bum afterwards; stand up when the horse is galloping fast.

Horses are just like pets and need to be trained for humans to ride on them. They can gallop fast in the wild and the tamed ones are also used for horse racing, a form of entertainment and also for betting.

4. Embrace beautiful Certosa in an enchanting landscape

Posted by Certosa di Pontignano on Wednesday, 31 December 2014

For the Catholics, they might like to visit the beautiful Certosa monastery in an enchanting landscape. With pews to sit, they can worship God and sing songs of praise. Fellow Christians may also pray here and have some quiet time with our Heavenly Father. With terrorists attacks in public places, people are more weary and disturbed mentally. Here, they can find peace and serenity in a place of worship. After all, life on earth is just temporary and life thereafter is eternal.

Besides being stressed daily with work and jobs, one should also seek spiritual goals and prepare for life hereafter. We will sow what we reap and it is therapeutic to help the poor, the marginalized and children. A visit to the beautiful monastery reminds us to do good and reflect on our priorities.
